Steven forgives all who left the fish.  Repent and you will be welcomed home.

i'm still playin the Fish so :^Ppbptrttabptt

The king is dead? Long live the king?

Notice how incredibly easy it was for Master Bratac to find the forums on WG, even though he was just signing up to protest (pointlessly). I wonder if he even knows that WF forums exist?

I'm playing both, different reasons for each site. As it is I only feel right paying for one atm though :) And the Steven absence is ludicrous, if you know you're losing people because you're not listening to them, give some admin options to someone who will listen.

I haven't decided yet whether the post was ironic or not. I wouldn't write him off as a pointless protester just yet.

Hmm, you may be right. He's played a few too many games, methinks, to be labeled just a protestor.

REPENT! REPENT I SAY!!!

lulz

I'm not sure if we are the ones in need of repentance here.

I still had a foot in both, although I don't have any active games at the moment here and with the exception of an ill-fated A&A tournament I was simply playing out my queued tourny games on WF.

Steven actually contacted me shortly after he reappeared for the 1st time. He was like oh hey neat scripts, maybe we can work on incorporating those. I pointed out that most of what the script does would be better done on the server side (for various boring technical reasons). That pretty much put a screeching halt to that conversation.

The simple request to add a forum link to the website... a literal 5 minute change with no downsides, heavily requested.. 6 months later it's still not there.

WF is doomed, DOOMed I say! To hell with it!

Although the thing that actually made me throw up my hands and go 'fuck this' was discovering that the BaO system on a board with unit restrictions does not allow you to attack from 1 territory with more than the defending territory can hold. So you can attack a 50 unit limit territory with 50 armies from 5 different countries (250) but not from 1 with 250. ARRRG. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!

Actually, that's one part about BAO that I like.  It's pretty much the only way you can replicate a Thermopylae-style scenario where only so many people can attack in a space at a time.  In a situation like that, yes, five attacks with 50 units each would still break down the lone 50 defending, but the casualties against the attacker would be significantly higher than they would be if the attacker could just mount one attack with 250.  Most of the time, the first 50 unit attack wouldn't kill all of the defenders, giving whatever's left a second roll against the second wave, dealing more damage.

Theep is now claiming that this is because Steven has reservations about all the negativity on the forums and is concerned that we would steal his players if more people knew about the forum.

Cute bunny.

Gross toe.

IRolls, sweet Avatar.

Is WarGear in need of a BurgerTime board?
...I think I'll toss something together either way.

Haha toss something together... your subtleness is so blatant. A BurgerTime board would rock!

I'm not surprised though - probably if the warfish site saw the forums and all the negativity there and the wargear discussions they might fly over here and he'd lose the revenue that offsets the hosting expenses I imagine.

I also think part of it is that he's in a phase where other things in life appear to be a priority to him.

A forum wipe would fix the existing negativity but wouldn't be much of a boon if he didn't actually have the time to start working on the forums or respond to stuck game requests.  I understand not wanting to share your server access, but he needs to trust somebody to go in and do something before his site collapses.

I still am not AS bitter as I could be because I've been playing warfish for years and years and what WAS done was awesome, it's just other issues seem to be preventing present and future awesomeness from coming to fruition.

1. Yeah, I get that other priorities stuff, and that's fine. But you know what they say - it's not the cheating, it's the lying. If he had just wandered off into the sunset and never returned, it would all be ancient history by now.

2. The word 'wargear' appears rarely if ever on the WF forums.

3. The 'negativity' is his own fault, obviously. If there weren't so many stuck games, or if he ever fixed any, there wouldn't be so many posts asking for help with them. I agree with you that what once was was awesome - but that makes the current situation all the worse in my opinion.

Oh no, wargear's running slow! Everyone go back to warfish.

actually it was down completely last night for at least an hour. whoooa man!

but unlike the fish no games seem to have gootten stuck or broken. and HAD they, tom would have been all over the fixing of them...
